TODO: create a three-word image generator as WIP for act itself.
act is a CLI tool that manages service configuration in a predictable, explicit and versioned way.
act helps developers make services configurable by allowing them to declare builders that build configs into an immutable service state for consumption by a runtime.
act helps application users manage service configuration by allowing them to install and uninstall apps (packages of builders, configs or runtimes) in tenants, which result in different behaviours when combined.
act treats code as configuration, inspired by Facebook's configerator and VTEX IO apps and workspaces.
act is based on git and deno. It uses git to version both tenants and apps. It uses deno to implement a DSL that defines the core concepts of builders, runtimes, configs, etc.
act is intended to be used as your control plane. It builds and versions state which must then be made available to a runtime. How you deploy said runtime and how do you store said state is up to you.
act.pm is the canonical act package manager. It follows the philosophy of deno.land/x and implements a rewriter for GitHub.
